Inspirational Dua before Ramadhan

[ummtaalib]

The month of Ramadaan is almost upon us. Preparation for the blessed month should commence in earnest for indeed every moment of Ramadaan is most valuable.

 

Sayyiduna Ubaadah bin Saamit Radhiyallahu Anhu reports, Rasulullah Sallallahu Alayhi Wa Sallam used to teach us this Dua at the approach of Ramadaan:

 

اَللَّهُمَّ سَلِّمْنِيْ لِرَمَضَانَ وَسَلِّمْ رَمَضَانَ لِيْ وَسَلِّمْهُ لِيْ مُتَقَبَّلاً

Allaa-humma Sallimnee Li Ra-ma-daa-na Wa Sallim Ra-ma-daa-na Lee Wa Sallimhu Lee Mu-ta-qabba-la.

 

“O Allah! Safeguard me for the Month of Ramadaan (by making me see the Month of Ramadaan fit and healthy), and safeguard the Month of Ramadaan for me (by making the conditions in it such that I take maximum benefit from it) and accept it from me.” (Kanz-ul-ummal)
